Many young people have a dream of becoming a performing artist. Yet they may not be given the opportunity to explore, learn and experience performance arts.
In view of this, Hong Kong Ballet offered tickets of its production of "The Sleeping Beauty" to nearly 200 CDF participants in March 2015. Some participants were invited to step onto the stage to learn simple dance moves and ballet terms. This would help them gain a better understanding of ballet dance.

"When I was a kid, some friends of mine took ballet lessons but I did not have the chance. Watching live ballet is a wonderful experience. The professional attitude and commitments shown by the ballet dancers are amazing. The stage design and costumes are excellent. Such level of performance could only be achieved with adequate preparation and good teamwork." — LIU Ho-ki "The ballet moves are so elegant. I enjoy watching the performance very much. Some of the moves have a high level of difficulty and the dancers must have put in an amazing amount of hard work to make them look so effortless. Ballet dancers use gestures and facial expressions to communicate with their audience, which is quite different from stage dramas. It is an eye-opening and unforgettable experience." — TSE Wai-yee |
